"I'm happy", Mets ace Noah Syndergaard tweeted Wednesday night, with a "wackyBruce" hashtag. He was one of New York's most productive bats during that stretch, slugging 37 home runs and driving in 94 runs in what is the equivalent to nearly a full season of play in blue and orange.

The following off-season, many questioned whether the Texas native who had previously spent his entire professional career with the Reds could handle the NY spotlight. Bruce's signing could spark things back into motion as we are just about one month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. By the summer, general manager Sandy Alderson had traded away several pending free agents - Bruce among them - in an effort to shed payroll and acquire young arms. The returning Bruce played 11 games at first base last season and could cycle in at the position should Smith struggle or if the Mets want to feature Juan Lagares more.
